Hi @earlt, Welcome to Connect. I also have small fiber peripheral neuropathy but don't have the burning pain, just some numbness and tingling. I have swelling in my legs during the day and was diagnosed with lymphedema for which I have to wear compression socks every day. They control the swelling during the day but do make my legs feel a little squished and tight. I was diagnosed after having the blood flow test on the legs looking for issues but they didn't find one so my Mayo Clinic cardiologist ordered a lymphoscintigram. Mayo Clinic has some information on the topic here - https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/lymphedema/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20374687.

Have your doctors mentioned or looked for possible problems with your lymph system?

Thank you for the information. I will ask my doctor about doing that. It is pure anguish going through this. I have seen so many people going through this. I didn't know so many people had this problem. I will stay with this forum. It is the best one I have found.
Thanks again.
Conrad.
